Unown [L] 91/106 · Great Encounters

Unown is Pokédex #201, generation 2 (Johto). Unown [L] is a Basic Psychic Pokémon with 50 HP. The card lists level 18.

Unown [L] sits at 91/106 in Great Encounters, position 91 of 106. Before it is 90 Treecko, and after it is 92 Volbeat. The set belongs to the Diamond & Pearl series. It was released on February 1, 2008. The printed size is 106, and the checklist is the same length. The listed rarity is Common.

LINK is listed as Poké-Body. Unown L can use any attack from any Unown in play (both yours and your opponent's). (You still have to pay for that attack's Energy cost.) The attack Hidden Power lists no damage number. The cost is Psychic, Colorless. Search either player's discard pile for up to any 2 cards, show them to your opponent, and put them on top of that player's deck in any order you like. Weakness is Psychic +10. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "Shaped like ancient writing, it is a huge mystery whether language or UNOWN came first."

Unown (#201) has 95 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 18 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2026. The earliest other card is Unown [J] 38/53 in Wizards Black Star Promos (1999). That card is named Unown [J], while this one is Unown [L]. That card lists 40 HP, and this one lists 50 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Common. Hideki Kazama illustrated that card, and Daisuke Ito illustrated this one. 67 other cards of Unown list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Daisuke Ito. I count 47 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Great Encounters set binder is where a full Great Encounters set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Unown can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
